I myself is satisfied with the current handling of tasks in gnome-shell, "but" there is a serious but, as I am using gnome-shell as of this writing.

Have you notice that if we have too much windows in each workspaces, the windows(too many of them) are getting tinier and it is difficult to know and select the right window.

This can be solved using the zoom in feature where we can move from one workspace to another with better views, but I think the quickness is not more quick than using a panel switcher in my experience.

So I tend to agree with the current design of handling tasks in gnome-shell. But I think there must be a need of some extension to handle task switching aside from the current one without compromising the overall design of the gnome-shell.
